Altering the environment has always been carried out to create a new reality that is in line with the needs of the living entities. In this context, there is a problematic situation in the contemporary city where the needs and expectations of the society not only change over time but also conflicts with the priorities of some authorized and administrative groups. Accordingly, contemporary cities are often inadequate to offer solutions to current complications, they even generate further problems. This study attempts to identify the unfitting state of the city on both abstract and spatial dimensions. By using the concepts of organization and tolerance as a twofold point of departure, it is claimed that what is lacking in the contemporary city is a socio-politically porous interface that is essential to manage the complexity of a network of organizations without reducing dynamic entanglements. In spatial terms, this concept refers to a notion of place that is the anonymous public realm capable to manifest the features of progression and justice through engagement. In this study, those qualities attempted to encapsulate under the name of tolerance space. Sıhhiye District of Ankara is examined as a case study of tolerance space as considered to be representative of given qualities.

Spaces of an escapist utopia: an inquiry into the Yeşil Yurt dream of Servet-i Fünun Kurpınar, Gönenç; Zelef, Mustafa Haluk; Department of Architecture (2020-7) Throughout the history, humankind has created many utopias and has used the utopian vision to build the physical environment, govern the social life or just escape from the existing reality. In order to elaborate discussions on utopias, this thesis is focused on Yeşil Yurt which was created in the late 19th century by literary and architectural tools that later turned into a single realized building. Discussing Yeşil Yurt’s interaction with architecture, literary spaces and utopianism, various archite...
Mobility and the role of pedestrian in making public space: Mersin Coastal Park Belge, Züleyha Sara; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Department of City and Regional Planning (2020) Public space, being an inevitable component of cities, is an evolving space that transforms, expands or shrinks. Public spaces of cities, in general, constitute squares and streets that are open to the use of the whole society freely. Recreative areas, parks, coastal areas, most of the open spaces and public buildings, such as schools, administrative centres, are also other forms of public spaces. Over the last four decades, private or quasi-private public spaces, like shopping malls, and the privatization ...
Environmental Analysis of Construction Materials: Material Specifications for Green Built Environment Çakmaklı, Ayşem Berrin (IGI Global, 2019-01-01) There is a growing universal awareness of protecting the living and non-living environment and making enlightened decisions to achieve a sustainable development without destruction of the natural resources. In this point of view, selecting building materials according to their energy and health performances gains importance in sustainable design. 3Rs (reducing, reusing, recycling), and supplying a healthy, non-hazardous indoor air for building occupants are two important parameters of environmental life-cyc...
Public art in public space: tracking graffiti and mural art practices in contemporary Tehran Zare Gharehgheshlaghi, Solmaz; Akkar Ercan, Zübeyde Müge; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2019) Public spaces, inevitable components of urban space, play a very important role in creating livable places by meeting different needs of citizens. Urban public spaces allow for social, cultural and economic interaction and intellectual freedom in urban outdoor spaces. Public art is an effective means of communication in the public sphere. As an indispensable element of space design, public art creates a 'sense of place' and 'place identity'. Public art serves many purposes such as attracting people's attent...
Cross-national examination of cultural values, belief systems and sustainable consumer attitudes and behaviours Berkin, Anıl; Mandrik, Carter; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2018-1) Since the 1970’s concern about the environment has been growing and with this growth the concept of sustainability has started to become integrated into the business world. One of the main goals of sustainability is to meet full environmental costs of production and consumption to create a sustainable economy. Necessarily, behaviour of consumers also plays a role in sustainability. Sustainable consumption mainly focuses on the environmental impacts of consumers’ habits, their food choices or their transport...
